Aha - the R44 threw me for a loop and made me wonder if it was a Toronto train that had been CGIed like Apple did in their ads

Are you sure it isn't Toronto or LA?

Cuomo once said of Sukkot: β€˜These people and their f**king tree houses’ β€” NYT New York governor reportedly expressed frustration with campaign appearance at Jewish holiday event during his run for attorney general in 2006

Anyway this is vastly more antisemitic than anything Zohran has ever said or done.

This is a major problem with politics right now. 1938, 1959, 1999, 2015, whatever - everyone agrees the past was better than the future could possibly be for America (they just disagree on when in the past)

As a Brad Lander voter, I love to see this.

I don't understand why Brad Lander doesn't have more traction in the NYC mayoral race. He's accomplished, competent, has a lot of good policy ideas - really the Kathryn Garcia lane right there. What's missing?

I'm listening to an album I liked from 2005 and remembering what it was to be young, angry, and energetic, and that just is all to say, good luck, Zohran voters

@claremontrun.bsky.social Question: did Chris have Japanese or African friends while in NY in the 70s? How did he do his cultural research, especially in the 100s-110s?

I have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff

β€œThose nasty Canadians are ripping us off and are controlled by Mexican cartels. They’re poisoning us with fentanyl and need to become the 51st state or they will pay a high price” is a belief that literally ZERO Americans had six weeks ago. It’s entirely invented from scratch.

I compared the iPhone 16e (left) to a OnePlus Nord 4 (right) using our Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3. And pretty consistently in those weak signal situations, with a Vodafone Spain SIM card, the Snapdragon gave a better connection - sometimes, when the iPhone couldn't get a connection at all.

But of course, real-world testing matters too. So I went all over the Barcelona metro area, seeking weak signals - the kinds of places where your phone can show bars, but you can't quite connect. Like a comics museum with a Wolverine exhibit, or ... a random streetcorner outside a pizza place.

I spent yesterday testing the Apple iPhone 16e against a Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 phone. Yes, I am biased! But I'm also not wrong. First of all, the C1 is definitely short of our modem lineup on features. Here's a handy chart our engineers came up with based on the analysis they did over the weekend.

Spicy question: will it be airfare like prices, or will it be able to open up job/housing pairs an hour apart?

I'd say "Queens stands up," but we have a bizarre number of AOC/Trump voters, so heck if I know

It's called the iPhone 16 "E" because that's what your network status indicator is gonna say
